Prize Money: $785

DROOPYS NELL (2) is down a grade after finishing sixth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (29.88). Back in class and gets chance to fire. CRYSTAL POWER (4) comes off a decent 29.30 placing at this track over 500m. In form and must include in calculations. BALLYMAC WHALER (3) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 0.9 lengths (29.67) behind Priceless Juliet at this track. Overdue and gets his chance.
